Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? It was a busy, weird week. I can't remember most of what happened, LOL, but on Wednesday my daughter passed her kidney stone, praise the Lord! Then she immediately got in the car and drove to Columbus for a job interview. Talk about perfect timing! I also had a job interview on Wednesday and got the job. I start work on Monday. The bad news I got last Friday is that my mom's cancer is now in both lungs, and we were expecting to get a short this is it notice, like 6 months, but her doctors said that without treatment she should live several years, for this we are thankful. We are hoping to go back out to the beach lake this weekend, depending on the weather. We need some serious vitamin D and downtime.

My Review:

The Shippers are back in Hearts Aweigh and are up to more matchmaking shenanigans. While this book can be read independently, I recommend reading Love Overboard first. This is where we are first introduced to the Shippers.

Top Ten Tuesday-Anticipated releases for second half of 2025

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Most Anticipated Books Releasing in the Second Half of 2025. Yay, thank you Jana, for an easy topic this week 😁. I keep a list on Goodreads for 2025 book releases, so this should be fairly easy. The hard part will be narrowing it down, (and I ended up adding more to my list, LOL). Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and you can head over there to see what our other bookish friends are up to today.
